Naruto pulled at the neckline of his robes, they were so damned constricting. Thank the gods he had to wear them so rarely.
Nine months into his reign, nine months into Sakura’s pregnancy.
Things were going great. Almost.
Sasuke was nearly a prisoner within the walls of Konoha. While he lived with Sakura and Naruto and had given over the Uchiha estate to them. He refused to believe what they told him about Itachi. Naruto had even opened ANBU records to show him the great evil that had been covered up and slapped onto his brother.
Sasuke refused to hear it.
Sakura tried to convince him that he was home, safe. Loved.
Naruto had refused to leave them alone. At all. Moreso when her condition became visible.
It ate at him, Naruto could tell. Perhaps because he had once believe his own child would rest there. And now he knew without doubt it never would. Anywhere.
“It’s his?” he has asked them one night, they had stared at the floor. “Of course it is. A murder’s child.”
Sakura had reached across the table and slapped him, “Stop it! You can keep believing the lie if you want, but we know better and I think deep down you do to. You just don’t want to see Sasuke! That would mean that all these years had been a waste for you.”
She had lunged to her feet, “You will never speak ill of him or this child!” her arms cradled carefully around her slightly swollen stomach.
She had gotten the pains later that night, and wept against Naruto’s chest. What if they lost the child now? Gods what if?
But she hadn’t and after that Nruto was wary of Sasuke with her.
When she delivered a healthy son with jet black hair, there were more than a few whispers in the village but Naruto quelled them.
“This is MY son” he had roared.
No one had pressed the issue, understanding in that moment, that little Itachi Uzumaki was just that. His son.
They knew the truth of course. But none found fault. After all Team 7 had been willing to die for Sasuke’s future and happiness.
As the boy grew, Sasuke found he could not bring himself to hate his only blood relative left in the world. Oh he hated the boy’s father. Had no ideas of forgetting his revenge. But the boy….
That happy, smiling boy.
Being the carefree child he and Naruto were never allowed to be.
When little Itachi turned four, he climbed into his uncle’s lap.
“Uncle Sasuke?” he asked softly.
Black eyes met black eyes. “What is it?”
“Why are you so sad?”
“…”
“Mama says you wanted a little boy like me”
“I…”
The child threw his arms around Sasuke, “Even ifs you don’t got one. I love you Uncle Sasuke!”
Naruto watched carefully as his friend and teammate, slowly wrapped his arms around the child and held his tightly.
The next day…Sasuke was gone.
Naruto found a note near his office,
‘I have to finish the past or I can never find my future’
Naruto kept the note secret, and in his heart hoped that finishing his past would bring some comfort to the younger Uchiha. Without the high cost.
